Memory Pricing Guide |
High-End Memory Prices - Week of June 23, 2008By SharkyExtreme.com Staff June 23, 2008The following chart outlines prices on name-brand, single module DDR prices. We've taken a cross-section of the top name brands (as voted by Sharky readers), and when possible, used the highest-end module possible. In the case of Corsair, this translates into "LL" or Low Latency, while Kingston HyperX, Mushkin "Level 2" (L2), and OCZ Enhanced Latency "EL" modules are also featured. Not all DDR clock speeds are available at these enhanced memory formats, and some of our PC4000 and up listings naturally use more standard timings and brand names. Tracked DDR is in the PC2700 to PC5000 range, but each vendor may have a different "high-end" speed, and might not offer all of the clock speed permutations. The single-module DDR chart showed very consistent pricing, with only four of the listings showing any price change at all. The largest of these was a $4 drop to Corsair Value PC3200 1-GB and it was followed by a $3 cut to Crucial PC3200 1-GB. There was only a single price increase, as Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB jumped by $2, so we're not looking at a significant overall chart drop this week. The aggregate chart drop was only $6, which is right on track with the $7 overall drop we posted in our previous guide.
